There's no other way
martin burdisso, South Africa
03 October 2011
For me it is already a must-do. Every time I go to the Kruger I stay in Adrien's place. Food, music, friends, accommodation - everything's perfect! There was this hippo in the area! We could listen to his sounds from our room! Awesome! Signals on the road don't lie about that! Thanks Adrien!
Nice intro on route to Kruger Park

Nice rustic place. Clean, and has the basic necessities needed for a night or two. Great job Adrian. Only suggestion is that maybe a small range of braai stuff like coal and firelighters be available to buy. Most travellers arrive late and without these things. Other backpackers I've stayed at have a fire going all the time.
Great

Very nice hostel and staff
Hannah Tiefengraber, Mozambique

We really enjoyed our stay at Bushpackers. The owners are very nice and help you with everything you need. The location was lovely and very close to the Panorama Route and Kruger National Park. I can highly recommend this hostel to everybody!
